In 24 hours time I'll be in the air (well hopefully) across the pond. I'm all packed and have managed to fit it into case

Can't wait to meet everyone and start in my new role as a WDW Mom (or Mum )

Happy (and safe) travels, Panelists! We're expecting some great photos (with details ) once you return home!

Leanne recently posted a video entry in her blog about "Santa Paws," a pet-friendly meet-and-greet with Santa at Downtown Disney. Her dog (Mikita) makes an appearance.

Travel Safe, too!

I really wish you could all come with us! Not only are we going to meet each other but a few of the 2008 panelists will be hooking up with us as well - I think tomorrow night. I can't wait to meet Bret and Kim and all the others! And Deb from All Ears sent me a tweet saying she hopes she can meet me. ME? Hello - I'm your fan - I hope to meet YOU! LOL

In approx. 15 minutes, the new members of the Moms Panel will meet each other in person for the first time. Enjoy!

Edited for Clarification: Funky! My computer at home reads 4:18 p.m. ET, but -- clearly -- the DISboards' system isn't reflecting the proper time.

According to Twitter...the Moms Panel 2009 has met each other, been to the Cinderella Suite and is now having dinner at Crystal Palace before heading to VIP Seating for the MVMCP! Oh, how fun!

I had accepted the fact that I didn't make the final 16 and was excited and honored I made it to the final 31. I am now officially "green" that they are having a wonderful time at the best place in the world. No, seriously, I am very excited for them. I am having serious Disney withdrawal right now.

 

[koolaidmoms]

I am actually going on a mini WDW vacation tomorrow and Tuesday. I wonder if I will see any of the new Moms out or filming their videos! This was a last minute decision (yesterday) to stop on our way to Miami. I am far more excited about WDW than Miami. I'll be on the lookout for the Moms!

Leanne has done 3 posts on her blog about the training so far!

Wow...looks like everyone is having a blast! Thanks for update on Leanne's blog...I hadn't checked it over the weekend and missed the new photos...

 

[DVCsince02]

Awesome!

 

[Tiggsntx]

We can't wait to see pics and hear stories from all you panelists...now that y'all are home! From Leanne's blog and the many tweets from Laura and Leanne...it sounded like a productive and fun weekend!

 

[PartyOf5]

Hi - I'm back!

What a wonderful weekend! Actually, wonderful is an understatement! How about wonderfully spectacular! It looks like Leanne updated her blog...and there is so much more to report. I probably won't be able to write anything up until the weekend due to work (and I'm sure I have catch up work to do as well).

After going through this weekend, I realized being rejected last year was the best thing that ever happened to me. Had I been chosen for last years panel vs. this years, I would have never met the awesome people I met this weekend. So if being on the Moms Panel is something you really want to do (and I HIGHLY recommend it so far!), keep applying...dreams come true!

I have so much to report...including the slumber party for 6 of us at Cinderella's suite Sunday night!!!! More to come!

Oh my goodness, to tell you this was a whirlwind of magic and pixie dust would be an understatement! And I got to sleep in the castle too - amazing experience to stand on Main Street USA in your pj's at 2 AM!!!
